If you were to sit down and design your own religion, what would it be like. Some Christians have created their own, Pagans as well.
Would you have a God, Goddess, saints? Is there a text that would be sacred or in some way revered? Would you emphasize charity, service, love?
What would it look like?

Been there. Done that.
It'd be completely tolerant of people's beliefs and sexuality, but it wouldn't be tolerant of killing, lying, or adultery.
It'd say you can believe in as many or few Gods or Goddesses as you want, whether it be none, one, two, three, infinity, etc.
It'd focus on caring for all living things -- nature included.
Guess that's why I'm Pagan, huh?
No sacred text.
- 16 yo Pagan

i am a Pagan priest, and as such i officiate a grove of pagans and as each grove or coven is different, it would probally qualify as a self made religion. we have a few simple guidelines.
1, religion os free. i teach people the ways of the gods because i am called to do so. i will not accept any payment or offerings for any religious service beyond hospitality.
2, seek knowlege and question all things that are told to you.
(this includes things that i say)
3, be up front with your family about what and who you are.
4, speak only the truth.
5, to your own heart be true.
6, respect of all that respect you.

I would have a religeon with a higher force/being that loves everyone and everything no matter what, and that you would be reborn until all of life's lessons are learned. Gods and Goddessed would represent different aspects of nature, but would not be idolized, just representations to help celebrate life and all its wonders.

A Rainbow.
Genesis 9
12 And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."

The Gospel of Xiris would explain the workings between the earthly and the Divine, and share the true goals of the Originals.

I wouldnt have a god ro anything close to it. I think one's self is the highest authority and they themselves are their own god. All morality would just be common sense.
